Thank you Mr. Kay for valuable suggestions.. I just have now few more doubts.. 1) The binary XML idea. I would appreciate some reference. How it fits into technical architecture, vendor support etc? 2) One question I asked earlier in this thread. If I create a DOM object at source application using Xerces; can I consume this DOM object using another parser at recieving end (for e.g. Oracle). My feeling is no.. The reason being - A specific parser uses its own data structures to implement DOM interfaces. So another parser cannot read the DOM.. 3) You said -"other possibilities include writing out SAX events to a SAX serializer". How is it actually implemented? My understanding is - SAX API is used while reading the XML document. Can it also be used to *create* XML documents?
